After moaning to the gaffer that he's just basically left me a very axe driven pile of music to cut a swathe through, I slap on DISCO DRIVE's 'Nice Price Rock 'n' Roll' 7" & reel back in surprise. Jerky, rolling & discordant with a sneering post hardcore attitude melded with a rabble rousing Clash/At The Drive In/Drive Like Jehu dynamic.A good punker unity anthem with it's heart firmly set in the glory days of the early 90's. The flip side 'Never Been Sick' is smart stuff too. Melodic but off kilter, flailing drums tripping over time changes, solid grooving bass, good biting vocal harmonies & shards of guitar melting into chiming codas. The kind of band that has me rooted to the spot in a pub backroom on a Thursday night, pint in hand, gawping for England. Class. On Red Cars Go Faster

What their label says...

Remember the old indie/emo/punk records that paved the way for all the recycled crap we have now? Indian Summer, Boy's Life, Drive Like Jehu, Giant's Chair, etc.; remember the way such records used to sound, before anyone had a blueprint for it? Enter Torino, Italy's Disco Drive, a band with just that type of edge. At moments poppy punk, at moments as art-pop as The Crownhate Ruin on a particularly bitter day, and always surrounded by high calibre drumming, crisp guitars, and energetic vocals, Disco Drive grasp a pop-punk style melded with an east coast hardcore sound. The shift in styles and moods is handled well, moving from palatable upbeat rhythms to enjoyable experimental sounds. Worth checking out.
